Working with File Manager
- File Manager overview
- Getting started with File Manager
- Viewing and changing data sets
  To view data stored in a supported data set, use the View Utility or the Edit Utility.
- Creating and editing templates
  For many tasks performed with File Manager, you can manipulate your view of a data set by applying a template.
- Working with the Template List
  Display a list of templates and perform actions on them.
- Filtering records with templates
- Managing data sets
  - Working with data set lists
  - Creating data sets and records
  - Creating, replacing, and adding data using existing data
  - Copying data sets
    - Copying without a template
      When you are copying data sets and do not use a template, all data in an input data set record is copied to the output data set.

    - Copying with a copybook or template
    - Scrambling data
      Scrambling data allows you to create test data based on production (or "live") data, but with the ability to change the values of certain fields. In this way, you can avoid sensitive or confidential information appearing in test data.
    - Copying records with segmented data templates
    - Generating data in external format - XML representation
    - Copying files or members containing JCL
    - Using a DFSORT or REXX procedure
    - REXX member selection
  - Cloning data sets
    The clone utility provides a convenient way to copy multiple sequential, partitioned, GDG, and VSAM data sets.
  - Finding and changing data in multiple PDS members
  - Working with files or members containing JCL
    When using the DSC or FCH utility with a file that contains JCL and the JCL Source format option has been selected, there are two methods used to maintain integrity.

Renaming members as you copy

You can use the Copy Utility to change the names of multiple members in a PDS(E), as you copy members from one data set to another. For example, you might want to copy a range of members named TESTxxx to a new data set and rename all of these as PRODxxx.

To rename members as you copy:

In the Copy From panel, enter a member name mask in the Member field.
OR

Select the Advanced member selection option and specify a range of member names.
Specify the remainder of your copy options, as required, then press Enter.
In the Copy To panel, enter a new member name mask in the form of a member name pattern.
A member name pattern can consist of any characters that are valid in a member name and two special pattern characters: the asterisk (*) and percent sign (%).
Asterisk (*)
The asterisk is a place-holding character that means multiple characters with no change. Only one asterisk should appear in the mask. Any subsequent asterisk characters are treated as percent signs. For example, if you enter:
```
ABC*
```
The renamed members all begin with ABC followed by the remainder of the old member name.
Percent sign (%)
The percent sign is a place-holding character that means a single character with no change. As many percent symbols as necessary may appear anywhere in a member name. For example, if you enter:
```
%%%A*
```
The 1st 3 characters of the renamed members remain unchanged, the 4th character is replaced with the letter “A” and the remainder of the old member name remains unchanged.

Press Enter. The new member names are displayed in the Prompt field on the Member selection panel.

Sel Name     Prompt   Alias-of Size Created
    DATA1    TEST1               43 01/01/09
    DATA2    TEST2               21 02/09/06
    DATA3    TEST3               40 02/09/06

Select the members that you want to copy and press Enter. The Prompt field entry changes to *COPIED for the members that were successfully copied and renamed.
